TRACY - Authorities have arrested two men in connection with a marijuana-growing operation in a Tracy neighborhood, police said.

Guo Wu, 47, of Tracy and Jian Long, 44, of New York were arrested about 4 p.m. Wednesday in the 700 block of Weeping Willow Lane on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana, theft of utilities and possession of marijuana for sale, authorities said Friday.

The street value of the marijuana found inside the home was estimated at $1 million, police said.
